It's the first time any of us in our group have dined at the Ivy Asia St Pauls and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed a team lunch, the quality of food and menu choice is amazing. The décor is beautiful too. For a lunch service, it was good, we didn't feel rushed nor did we have to wait long at any point. Highly recommend for somewhere that isn't your run of the mill lunch option!.

Always an Impeccable Experience CORD by Le Cordon Bleu never fails to impress us! From the moment we walked in, the service was flawless, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were fortunate to be seated at the chef’s table, where we had the privilege of watching the impeccably skilled kitchen staff at work—it was like witnessing culinary artistry in motion. The attention to detail in both the food and presentation was outstanding, with every dish showcasing creativity and precision. The flavors were beautifully balanced, and the entire experience felt truly special. We can’t recommend this gem highly enough for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!
